[bad word] you coward, [bad word]  These words crippled my confidence
 The hymn I can't escape from
 This is over and done with
 This race has made me more than weary, I am dead

 I created everything here that I wanted to see
 So was that your plan, to leave me out?
 We were all reciting messages and pushing repeat
 But this world you made does it let you breath

 Does it let you feel anything but yourself?
 When was the last time
 Does it let you breathe?
 Does it let you feel anything but yourself?
 When was the last time you saw anyone else?

 Whispers and echoes of love fading
 The plans you made, you wanted it
 The bitter taste, you wanted it
 What god became you wanted it
 But the one thing you need you'll never get

 There was more of you and less of me
 You blamed it on the chemistry
 Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
 It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it

 They were just calendar days
 I'm sure it's all written down
 But if you'll let me just ask
 Is this how you bring the crowd to their feet?
 You hurt because it wasn't about you
 About me?
 You're always scared the floor is gonna give way
 I call the shots
 We could end this, we could end this
 Don't you ever tell me what I've got

 Whispers and echoes of love fading
 The plans you made, you wanted it
 The bitter taste, you wanted it
 What god became you wanted it
 But the one thing you need you'll never get

 There was more of you and less of me
 You blamed it on the chemistry
 Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
 It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
 I wanted, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted this

 You made it such a lonely world
 Such a very lonely world
 You bent the answers into questions
 You let the voice go unheard
 And you couldn't [bad word] yourself
 Cause what if everything you felt
 Meant this was not yours alone

 Every single word, every single little word that was said
 And all the simple fears
 And all the nights that you cried in your bed
 Hoping I was there but you told yourself
 You're old and alone
 But you were never the widow you left on your own

 I was washed in the blood
 I was born of a spirit but I drowned
 When you found me out there
 Rejoice, Rejoice the old King is dead
 Long live the new king
 I am the new king

 Whispers and echoes of love fading 
 The plans you made, you wanted it
 The bitter taste, you wanted it
 What god became you wanted it
 But the one thing you need you'll never get

 There was more of you and less of me
 You blamed it on the chemistry
 Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
 It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
